Manor
Piper walks in to the parlour being followed by Andy and Darryl.
"Tell me you're kidding." Andy said before he looked at the T.V.
" I wish I was. It's all over the news." Piper said as Phoebe turns the television on.
"We called as soon as we saw the first broadcast. Look." Phoebe said pointing to the screen that showed a picture of Bane.
"I'm reporting live from the county jail, where an inmate escaped earlier this morning." The voice of the new reporter echoed in Andy's head, as his worry grew.
"Unbelievable." Andy said as he threw his hands up in the air.
They then listened to the rest of what the reporter had to say. "A massive manhunt has been launched to find the escapee. A man by the name of Bane Jessup, who was awaiting trial for racketeering, money laundering, and embezzlement."
"So much for keeping things quiet. This is a nightmare." Darryl said shaking his head and looking over to his torn partner.
"Welcome to our world." Pier said as she sat down on the couch and placed her head in her hands.
"You want some aspirin?" Phoebe said with a smile trying to cheer people up, but was still partially serious.
"What I want is Prue safe, Bane put in jail, and nobody hurt by any..." He then looks at the weapon lying on the table. "Do you know what that is yet?
"We're still looking. We do know that Bane definitely kidnapped Prue." Phoebe said clutching the Book of Shadows.
"What, has he made contact with you?" Andy said quickly.
"No, but she has." Phoebe said grabbing Andy's arm realising that he was very uneasy.
"It's a long story, but she's okay." Piper said knowing that they would question.
"She said notto come looking for. She said it was a trap."
"What! Is she nuts?" Andy screamed pulling away from Phoebe. " How can she think that we'll stay away just because she doesn't want us to get hurt."
"Andy, it's okay, calm down. Did she say what kind?" Darryl asked as he pulled out a thick file full of paper out of a brown leather bag. "Maybe this will help. It's the DA's file on Bane. That's all the information they pulled together for his trials. It's everything I copied before we got your phone call.
The phone rings and they are given another sign… Something to do with Leo-nora Watkins. Andy and Darryl decided not to even bother asking.
"Anyway, we believe that Bane has a hold-up somewhere. Maybe there's something in there that can tell you where." Andy said as he looked towards the file.
"So what the hell is he doing? Oh God I hope he's not hurting her." Piper said, looking at Andy who looked as if he had just been told that she was dead.
Mariner's Bluff. Lot-827
Bane is sitting on the chair he held Prue hostage on minutes before with his shirt wide open, while Prue is kneeling on the floor, tending his wound.
"P-Prue." Bane groaned in pain as she cleaned the wound with a cloth.
"If I'm going to clean the wound, then I have to stop the bleeding. I'm sorry." Prue said truthfully.
"Do you even know what you're doing?" Bane asked, not that he minded a beautiful woman touching him.
"No. Not really, but right now I'm the only choice that you've got. So, just try and hold still." Prue said with a sympathetic smile.
"That's easy for you to say. You don't have a set of fingernails clawing into your body." He said trying to hold back the urge to scream in pain.
"Yeah, well I'm almost done." She says as she hands him a cloth. "Put this in your mouth or something."
"Forget about me. Go home. Before Litvack's man comes back."
"I told you, he's gone. Probably ran right back to Litvack." Prue said trying to find an excuse not to leave him.
"So now he knows about you too. All the more reason to leave." He was truly concerned for her. He was beginning to have extremely strong feelings for her.
"Well, as much as I would like to, I can't. Not until I know that you're okay. Besides, it's probably better just to stay put, you know, I mean now that we've been sighted, they'll expect for us to take off. Speaking of things that need to be taken off...you're um, pants." She says with a playful smile and takes a few steps back.
"Excuse me!" Bane asked, not too sure whether he should laugh or be embarrassed. But did like the thought of her seeing what's under there.
"Well, I need to get to the, um, wound." Prue said trying not to laugh.
"Forget it!" Bane said still trying to keep his dignity.
"Okay, you know what? It's just going to get infected. So you can either take off your pants on your own, or I can always do it by force." Prue said laughing as Bane grumbled and stands up slowly dropping his pants, which makes Prue give a triumphant smile for winning.
Manor
Piper, Andy, and Phoebe had been going over Bane's files for over an hour, and Darryl had to leave to help his wife.
"I am getting nowhere and everywhere. How about you two? Any luck?" Phoebe asked hopefully.
"Well, I'll give Bane this. He works hard, tax evasion, racketeering, pick a crime, any crime." Piper said rolling her eyes.
"I feel like we're looking right at the answer, we're just not seeing it!" Phoebe screamed getting frustrated that they had been studying this man who kidnapped their sister for so long, and he could be hurting her as they speak.
"He's got good taste too. There's a whole money laundering indictment here based on a real estate development. Exclusive custom homes, they're really gorgeous. Check out the brochure." Piper said handing Phoebe and Andy the brochure.
"Mariner's Bluff. Oh! I'm sure the sea fairies will be very happy here." Phoeb squealed.
"What did you say? (Phoebe looks at her) Phoebe, what exactly did your spell say?" Piper asked thinking she may have had an epiphany.
"Spell? What spell?" Andy asked looking at the two sisters.
" Oh Andy not important. I beseech all powers above, send a sign to free my sisters heart, one that will lead her to her love. Why?" Phoebe asked wondering why her sister asked this.
"Because the Book of Shadows specifically opened to the Mariners section. What if the signs we're getting have nothing to do with Dan and Leo, and everything to do with Prue? Where is Mariner's Bluff?" Piper said thinking she almost had it.
"Bodega Bay." Phoebe said pointing to it on the map.
"Leonardo's Boutique of Bodega Bay."
"Piper, I think you're right." Phoebe chimed.
"Okay, so what were the clues? Mariners, Bodega Bay, Lenora Watkins?" Piper gave a look to Andy trying to piece them all together.
" The is a Watkins Road Exit." Andy said looking at the map.
"So we've almost found her. All we need is anaddress." Piper said rummaging through the files hoping to find it somehow.
"What's this?" Phoebe said as she flipped through the brochures and pulled out a piece of paper. "Let's see."
"It's a map of the lots in Mariner's Bluff." Andy said looking down at the map.
"Are the lots numbered?" Piper asked just as Phoebe sits down and accidentally hits the power button on the remote for the T.V.
You then hear a news reporter on the T.V. "In an exhibition game last night, the Mariners lost to the Angels, 8 to 7. In other news, Sami Sosa..."
"Okay…now we're back to Dan and Leo. Mariners, Angels." Phoebe said getting annoyed.
"No Phoebe, 8 to 7. Lot 827?"Piper said correcting her.
"Yes, there is an 827 at the top of the hill." Andy said pointing to the lot on the map.
"I'll drive, you navigate." Piper said as they all prepared to leave.
Mariner's Bluff. Lot-827
"Prue, why are you still here?" Bane asked looking up at Prue.
"Because umm, I believe you." She said trying not to look down since her wasn't wearing any pants.
"Well thank you. It's been a long time sincesomeone believed in me."
"Maybe that's because you stopped believing in yourself." Prue was having intense feeling for him. She loved Andy but Bane was so wild, and he was wild and didn't need her to protect him. Plus she and Andy were over, he couldn't accept her being a witch. That was his decision not hers.
"You known, I haven't always been like this. Wrong side of the law, always looking over my shoulder, I had dreams once. Big dreams." Bane said remembering how he was planning to get off the bad side of the law and settle down to find love.
"It's not too late to change now." Prue said as her body slowly moved closer to his.
"Nah, it's too late for me, but not for you. So, you should definitely go, so you can still have your dreams." Bane said as his hands slowly moved closer to her waist.
"Easier said than done." Prue said smiling thinking about all her dreams that she had to leave behind for her sisters and the Charmed ones.
"What do you mean?" Bane asked curiously.
"I don't know. I've just been thinking lately, that maybe dreams are just that. Dreams." Prue said but was suddenly comforted by his large muscular hands on her waist.
"I don't believe that." Bane said as he moved his head closer to kiss Prue, at first she resistes thinking about Andy, but then keeps going because he was safe and happy without her. "Oww." He said as Prue forgot about the wound and had put too much pressure on it when leaning against him for the kiss, which causes them both to laugh.
"I'm sorry." Prue said laughing, and truthfully sorry.
"I'm not." Bane answered Bane and continued to kiss her while he slowly pulled her top off.
Outside of Bane's Dream house
A few hours later…
"Okay so we'll need some sort of a plan to go in there. He's probably armed and dangerous." Andy said as he double-checked to make sure he had all of his guns.
"Okay, so I'll go in a freeze him quickly. That should help a lot." Piper said as she laughed and looked at Andy.
"And I'll kick him if needed." Phoebe said trying to do her part.
"Yeah, sure Phoebes, whatever makes you feel good." Piper said as she double-checked her shoelaces preparing to go in and save their sister, not knowing what could happen since Prue said it was a trap.
Inside
There are clothes scattered everywhere when Bane wakes up and frantically tries to find Prue, thinking that Litvack could've hurt her.
"Prue?" He said looking around, but was relieved to see hr standing in front of the window wearing a white under shirt and his black boxers. "Prue?" He said softly, as he walked over to her. "Prue?"
"The view is amazing." Prue said looking out the window at the beautiful view.
"It's not as good as mine." He said looking at her but her eyes remained on the view outside, although she smiled. "I thought maybe you left, or worse."
"No, I just couldn't really find all of my clothes." She said causing them both to laugh softly. "I'll help you with Litvack. You just have to promise me that you'll turn yourself back in when it's all over." These words make the smile disappear from his face. "Bane…"
"You know, I was thinking maybe this, us doesn't have to end. Maybe we can go somewhere where we can be together. Get away from all this. What do you say?"
"I would say that you're beginning to strike me as a dreamer." She said as he moved in closer to kiss her again. As soon as their kiss gets more passionate he suddenly freezes, which makes Prue take a step back. "Bane?"
"Oh... my... God!" Piper, Phoebe and Andy scream in shock at the sight before their eyes.
"Uh..." Prue manages to say through the embarrassment and pain that was in Andy's eyes. "What are you guys doing here?"
"We're rescuing you…from the tall dark, and naked man." Phoebe answered quickly trying to get a good look at Bane.
"I told you to stay away." She said putting her hands on her hips realising that they did something they told her not to which caused Andy great pain.
"Yeah, now I know why. He is yummy." Phoebe said then suddenly remembered Andy standing behind her and stayed quiet.
"I don't believe this! We've all been frantic, worried sick about you thinking you've been kidnapped..." Piper scolded Prue like a teenager staying out past curfew.
"Yeah, I was..." Prue said feeling hurt that they thought she was lying or something.
"Panties." Piper said pointing to the side of the make shift bed on the floor.
"Oh, oh!" She said as she rushed over to where they were lying. "Uh, thanks. Look, uh, you guys have really got this all uh… wrong." She then looked at the underwear in her hand and hid it behind her back.
"Yeah, we know. It's a "trap"." Piper said giggling but then looked at Andy's hurt face, and the smile turned into a frown.
"A tall, dark, and naked trap." Phoebe added.
"All right, how did you guys find me anyway?" Prue asked as she walked around picking up the rest of her clothing.
"We'll explain that later. We really need to be going now because there's a demon behind this." Piper said trying to rush her sister.
"Yeah, Litvack…wait, how did you know?" Prue asked very curiously.
"We have the weapon he used to break Bane out of jail." Andy and Phoebe said grinning.
"No, no, no, he, he tried to kill Bane in jail, not break him out." Prue said defending the man who had kidnapped her earlier.
"Or so Bane says." Piper said giving the frozen man a dirty look.
"Well, I believe him, because one of the guys came here and tried to kill me."
"All the more reason we should be going now." Piper said making hurry movements with her hands.
"Fine, then just unfreeze him." Prue said looking at Bane.
"What! You want us to bring him along?" Piper said thinking her sister had lost her mind.
"Well, yeah, I mean, I told him that I would help him. And I can't leave him here when everything I have to do is clearly at the manor."
"I can't believe this." Andy said in the corner.
Piper finally unfreezes Bane. When he realises Prue isn't there anymore he pulls the blanket closer to him and looks over to see Piper, Phoebe and Andy.
"Well, Hello." He said with embarrassment.
"Hello." Phoebe said with a smile, even thought this man just slept with her sister.
"Nice to see you again." Piper said trying not to laugh at how embarrassed he looked. "Would you put some clothes on?"
Bane walks over to Prue and begins to search for his clothes. As he is looking for his shirt he looks over at Andy and sees the anger, pain, and sadness on his face. He knew that Prue and this Andy guy had something but now he knew it was serious just by the way Prue acted once he was around, and his face right now. It looked like his was in some of the worst pain of his life.

Sorry the last two chapters were kinda slow and stuff but I really wanted to do the whole Bane and Andy thing and this was as short as I could make it, the story will get more interesting soon I promise but I really wanted to do that, so sorry if you don't like not having demon attacks in every chapter. I don't mind chapters like this but some people do, so sorry if you do.
